Article Synopsis
- The transabdominal preperitoneal repair (TAPP) is a common minimally invasive surgery for inguinal hernias, primarily noted for reducing postoperative pain.
- A study was conducted on 99 patients to compare the effectiveness of three newer pain management techniques: port site local anesthetic injection, iliohypogastric-/ilioinguinal nerve block, and preperitoneal local anesthetic spraying.
- Results showed that while all methods had positive outcomes, the preperitoneal local anesthetic spraying technique was slightly better at managing pain in the first 24 hours after surgery, but more extensive studies are needed for clearer conclusions.
The effect of biacromial and bideltoid distance on shoulder dystocia and birth weight in newborns.

December 2022
Objective: To evaluate the relationship between neonatal biacromial and bideltoid diameter (BDD), birth weight and shoulder dystocia (SD).
Material And Methods: This was a prospective observational study conducted on 161 pregnancies who applied to Private Lokman Hekim Hospital for follow-up between February 2021 and August 2021. Maternal height, weight, parity, and presence of SD in the second stage of labor were evaluated in the patients included in the study.
A new approach to predicting shoulder dystocia: fetal clavicle measurement.
Turk J Med Sci
August 2021
Background/aim: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between second- and third-trimester clavicle lengths and birth weight and shoulder dystocia.
Materials And Methods: This prospective observational study included 181 patients who presented to the Private Etlik Lokman Hekim Hospital for routine pregnancy visits between March 2019 and March 2020. In addition to routine pregnancy examinations, the patients also underwent ultrasonography twice at weeks 20–23 and 33–36 to determine the length of the fetal clavicle.
